    The researches now published must be regarded only as a contribution to the large subject of the Antagonism of Medi- cines. Had health permitted me to retain my chair in the University of Edinburgh, they would have been continued from year to year, until the inquiry was exhausted. I venture to hope, however, that the method of investigation will com- ipend itself to those who are earnest in the advancement of Therapeutics, and if not prosecuted by the British Medical Association, through means of a Committee, which I should greatly regret, at least individual effort may confirm, modify, and extend, an inquiry on which the future progress of Medi- cine so much depends. It is with no small satisfaction, there- fore, that I have read the valuable memoir recently contributed by my friend and former pupil, Dr. Crichton Browne of Wake- field, on the Antagonism between Picrotoxine and Chloral.
